    Union Jack. Like Racer 5 and Lagunitas IPA, its a boring old IPA that's widely available, very good, and often under-appreciated.

    But, I haven't tried Parabola, Sucuba, Stickee or 18th. I like the double jack okay, its a bit too sweet of a DIPA for my taste.

    Ya that beer is a glaring omission from the list IMO. And what about their Pale 31? it's a great session beer.

    I voted "other", which was a way for me to cheat and not choose between DDBA, XVII, Sour Saucerful o' Secrets, Krieky Bones, Maltose Falcons... not to mention, every option on the poll is stellar. God bless FW.

    Does anyone know if the velvet Merlin would age well? Or is it too low abv?

    Haven't had 2015 yet, but if it's a 2014 you'll be blown-over. Savor and drink it very slowly:rolling_eyes:

    I had to flip a coin between Double Jack and Other (Pivo Pils)- DJ won the toss. This time.

    It's great when a bigger brewery has so many 'first class' beers that it's not easy to pick a winner though Parabola is clearly the leader.

    I'm curious why some of their Wild Ales weren't listed.

    Tough one.

    I went Union Jack. But I am also in the mood for a nice IPA right at this moment. Were I thirsty for something more malty, I probably would have gone Parabola.

    Both are my favorites of their respective styles.

    (Honorable mention for me would go to Opal....that beer deserves more love than it gets, IMO)

    I would have to probably also cast a vote for Pivo, that is a damn good pils. I have only sampled a few from FSW thus far though.
